## Find your next step

* **Using Codex?** Follow the [Responses provider setup](/integrations/codex).
* **Using Copilot CLI?** Check the [custom provider guide](/integrations/github-copilot).
* **Choosing a protocol?** Compare the [supported products and capabilities](/products-capabilities).
* **A request failed?** Start with [errors and fallback](/errors-fallback).
* **Reviewing data handling?** Read [data and providers](/data-providers).

<Note>
  Compatibility is specific to the tested client versions, routes, and scenarios. Check the relevant guide before relying on a client extension, attachment format, or new harness version.
